E-fatbikes are electricity boosted mountain bikes with very wide tires. It’s easy and fun to explore nature whilst riding on one and the driving experience is lighter compared to traditional mountain biking. The fat, wide tires are well suited for the narrow and winding forest paths and thanks to the electricity boost the bike rolls on easily with only a little effort from the driver. With an e-fatbike you have more time for a longer trip and a chance for greater experiences than you would with muscular energy only. E-fatbike is a fantastic choice for your next exploration deeper into Nuuksio forest!
WHY RENT?
By renting the fatbike only when you need it you save yourself from the purchasing costs as well as from the maintenance, repairs and storaging needs. Even if there’s more of you, such as a group of friends or extended family, rental bikes serve you all!
E-fatbikes are rented at the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia in Espoo, right next to Nuuksio National Parl. Find them at Haltia’s rental service, where traditional fatbikes are also available.
